HOLDER FOR INK-BOTTLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 492,143, dated February 21, 1893.

Application filed November 1,1892. Serial No. 450,599. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DANIEL B. CORLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Abilene, in the county of Taylor and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ink and other Bottle-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to rests or holders for ink or mucilage bottles or similar small vessels.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive holder or rest for ink and mucilage bottles, so constructed as to guard against accidental displacement of the bottle and spilling of its contents.

The invention consists of a wire rest or holder bent to form a horizontal base and upwardly projecting clamping-arms as hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the'appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a View in perspective of the holder bent into form, but not joined or connected to complete the device. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the parts of the blank connected to form the holder. Fig. 3 illustrates a modification.

The numeral 1, indicates a wire bent at one end to form a loop 2, and then bent upon itself in serpentine bends 3. At points substantially equidistant from one another are formed extended horizontal loops 4, the ends of which are bent outwardlyand then upwardly to form clamping-arms 5. I preferably form four of these inwardly extending horizontal loops 4, and when the ends of the bent blank are brought together (as shown in Fig. 2,) and secured by wires 6 or otherwise, the serpentine bends 3 form a circular base, while the loops 4 are radial in their relation to the base.

The bottle 7, (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2) is designed to rest between the clampingarms 5.

It will be apparent that the circular base in connection with the clamping-arms affords an extended base support for the bottle thus guarding against accidental tipping of the bottle.

In Fig. 3 I have shown a modified construction of the holder, in which the circular serpentirebase is omitted and the wire is bent to form clamping-arms 8, and horizontal arms 9, the latter being permanently secured to a table, desk, or other support 10, by crossed staples 11, or equivalent devices. If preferred two of the clamping-arms may be extended outwardly and bent in curved form to constitute a pen-rack, as indicated at 12, in Fig. 3.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 1 1. A wire bottle-holder consisting of ahorizontal base, upwardly extended, integral clampingarms, and connecting devices for securing the parts together, substantially as described.

2. A bottle-holder consisting of a single wire bent to form a circular base, radial arms, and upwardly extending clamping-arms, in combination with connecting wires, substantially as described. 3. A bottle-holder consisting of a single wire bent to form a circular serpentine base; radial horizontal arms equidistant from one another, and upwardly extending clamps, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.

DANIEL B. CORLEY.
